"As an Asian American, I don't feel safe under Trump. "


Eugene Gu, MD
@eugenegu


As an Asian American, I don’t feel safe under Trump. By repeatedly calling the coronavirus the “Chinese Virus,” he’s scapegoating people like me and my family as well as millions of others like us. We have long suffered racism in this country in silence. Now it’ll be truly hell.

Stephen Miller is Trump's puppetmaster

Stephen Miller knows how effectively blaming unpopular minorities for pandemics works

He knows history. He knows that thousands of Jews were burned to death, blamed for the Black Death in 14th century Europe

Stephen Miller would be absolutely deliriously thrilled if Asian and Latin American immigrants met the same fate.

We need to make sure this is known and countered. As was said during a prior deadly pandemic, "Silence is Death".

just came and said "Chinese Virus" - no reason. No benefit.

I feel bad for anyone who is scared to be who they are.

When the nation's president and chief diplomat uses that kind of racist and nationalistic language. I just can't understand why in the hell that they would so such a thing. You are probably correct to be concerned, there are a lot of nuts out there that look for excuses to vent their hate. Trump has been happy to provide them with victims since he took office. It is good for "his numbers."

He does this to keep his cult riled up.

He is evil.

They are brainwashed and will follow him anywhere.

The republican party was destroyed by Trump.

It is now the party of Trump.

He is surrounded by influential ass kissers.

The Prosperity Gospel has a strong foothold.

The anti-science crowd have a strong foothold.

The courts are stacked with right wing lunatics.


We have a pandemic.

We have the start of a depression.

Climate change has kicked into high gear.

And we have an evil dictator wanna be as president.

This will not end well.
